Subject: /proc error during reboot (Gentoo)
Hi,

after installing gentoo during reboot I'm getting the
following error:

 * Mounting proc at /proc...               [ oops ]


* The "mount" command failed with error:

line 1: mount: command not found

* Since this is a critical task, startup cannot
continue.

Give root pasword for maintenance

(or type Control-D for normal startup):_

and of course the password and ctrl D is of no help.

are my two emails today related?

I thought this /proc error had something to do with
fstab

so here is the /proc entry in fstab:

none     /proc     proc     defaults   0 0 



after messing around with it I think it's possible,
but not likely that i forgot to :

[*] /proc file system support

in the make menuconfig

is there a way to get back to this so I can recompile
the kernel with /proc support? if that is the case...

i did try to

#chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash

and then

# cd /usr/src/linux

but the linux directory is gone. guess it was cleaned
up..

so I can't

# make menuconfig

I'm lost. rather than install again I thought I would
post this for some seasoned plugger advice!

Thanks in advance,

mike h
